Each ordered pair is (x,y). Determine the coordinates by substitution.
for (15,y):
y=1/3 * 15 - 9
y=-4
for (x,-6):
-6=1/3x -9
1/3x=3
x=9
There are 5280 feet in a mile
45 * 5280 = 237600
there are 3600 seconds in an hour (60 minutes time 60 seconds)
so we have 237600 feet in 3600 seconds
237600 / 3600 = 66 feet per second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since y is directly proportional to x,
we have y = kx, where k is a real constant.
When x = 15, y = 12.
=> (12) = k(15), k = 0.8.
Therefore we have y = 0.8x.
When x = 2, y = 0.8(2) = 1.6.
The answer is y = 1.6 when x = 2.
